Set a preview document to print limited copies?

Hi,
Is it possible to set a preview (PDF) document to print only a certain number of copies after which it would then become locked (password protected)?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Dave

Yes, I take your point. Once the genie's out of the bottle...

Hi Dave,
I don't think so, I think you'd have to wrap it in some kind of Script or App that kept track of how many times it printed, but then how would you prevent them from copying/duplicating the whole thing???

  • Can i set a pdf document to print back to back every time?

    have had a look through the help menus but no luck, just wondered if i could change the print settings so that when people open the document it automatically prints back to back every time? thanks in advance.

    No.
    If you could, what would you expect to happen when someone without a duplex printer prints it?

  • I printed a 'preview' document and now it continues to print a never ending set of copies.  I have re-installed the printer software, but it still continues to print more copies.  What do I need to do to stop the document printing?

    Try resetting the printing system.
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
    4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
    5. Restart your Mac
    This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.

  • Printing 2 copies of a document where a floating field change

    hi experts,
    Context:
    I have an interactive form compiled by a user.
    when compiling is finished, I'd need to print 2 copies of that document; the 2 copies are exactly the same but a floating field that has to change, i.e. 'Copy for ME' and 'Copy for the CUSTOMER'.
    Placing  2 print buttons it's not a problem, in the first button I set the Floating field to 'Copy for ME' and send a print command, in the second I do exactly the same with the 'Copy for the CUSTOMER'.
    Which is the best strategy to print those 2 copies clicking the print button only once and showing the printing window only once with the whole printing spool (2 copies)?
    Best regards,
    Dariush.

    Try this in a click event of a "Print Form" object:
    form1.#subform[0].PrintButton1::click - (JavaScript, client)
    // First copy (with printer dialog):
    xfa.host.messageBox("Company copy (send this copy for blah blah blah)","Printer:");
    TextField1.rawValue="COMPANY COPY";
    xfa.event.re
    xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    // Second copy (without printer dialog):
    TextField1.rawValue="CUSTOMER COPY";
    xfa.host.messageBox("Customer copy (save this copy for blah blah blah)","Pritner:");
    xfa.host.print(0, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    The problem is messagebox. if second messagembox line is omited, no changes shown in texfield1 fields .
    First messagebox can be ommited but second messagebox sentence is mandatory.
    Other idea is using "post print" event for "reprint" entire form but untested for me.

  • After upgrading to Lion, preview will not print any documents. When selecting "Print" it just hangs with no show of the printing menu.

    After upgrading to LION, preview refuses to print out documents to our Ricoh and Canon printers.  All other apps work fine with no problems.
    Does anyone have similar experience or an answer to resolving this problems.

    I had the same problem when attempting to print to my Canon ImageCLASS multifunction laser printer. Canon have acknowledged the problem by saying:
    "Cannot print from Preview or TextEdit; causes applications to crash. For PDF documents, Canon recommends that the free version of Acrobat Reader is used."
    They go on to say:
    "An updated driver for each model will be released as a permanent solution. The driver will be an official driver to support Mac OS X 10.7. The target release schedule is approximately three months after Lion is officially released."
    Source:
    http://www.canon.com.au/en-au/Support-Services/Support-News/Lion-Support
    I've followed their advice and have been using Adobe Reader for viewing and printing PDFs. I'll revert back to the Preview app once the updated drivers become available.

  • How do I print multiple copies of the same InDesign document on 1 page?

    I made a sign that is 7"w x 3"h and I would like to print 3 on a page. Can I do in InDesign? Adobe Acrobat. I found a feed from 2008, but was hoping that something had changed.
    Thank you.

    If you're looking for automated "n-Up" functionality, I don't think you'll find it in InDesign or Acrobat.
    All I can suggest is start a new InDesign document and place 3 copies of your sign on the page. Print.

  • Unable to print multiple copies of documents on Win7 machine with Office 2010

    Since upgrading to Windows 7, I have been unable to print multiple copies of documents in any MS Office 2007, 2010, Word Pad or Adobe Reader 9.  I also experience the same problem if I print from Word Pad.  The issue appears to be associated with the Collate Option in the Print Dialog box.  If the Collate box is checked, I only get one copy of the document.  If I uncheck the Collate box I get as many copies as I choose.   The problem is that with the Collate box unchecked, I have to collate multiple copies by hand, and with 10 – 20 copies of multi-page documents that can be quite a chore.
    The ironic thing is that MS Visio 2003, on the same machine, prints and collates as many copies as I choose, with the Collate box checked.   
    I can print multiple copies of Word 2003 documents from my wife’s Win XP machine to the same printer, but not from my Win 7 machine with Office 2010.
    My printer is an HP LaserJet 1320nw and I have downloaded and installed the latest printer drivers from the HP Web site.
    Has anyone experienced this problem, and if so, are you aware of a solution other than unchecking the Collate box?

    I have the same issues with my LJ1320. I have Office 2010 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.   However, my printing problem is more widespread since I have been unsuccessful at printing multiple copies of all types of documents, not just from  Office 2010.  For example, I have the same problem trying to print multiple copies from  Internet Explorer.
    I also have other problems printing  from Office 2010 that you may not have discovered yet.  I cannot print Excel spreadsheet grid lines from Office 2010 if those documents were originally created in an earlier version of Office.  I tried saving them as Office 2010 documents and also using compatibility mode but nothing worked.  These same documents print fine on the same printer from my laptop which uses Windows Vista and Office 2007.  Also Excel spreadsheets originated in Office 2010 print nicely.
    Looks like HP has a few bugs in their printer drivers.
    I note that HP released a new Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5x64 on Feb 18, 2011 (Version 5.2.6).  Have you tried it yet?

  • Setting a global margin for any documents to print

    Hello,
    On a Mac running OS X, I have a ruby/java script allowing me to open a Microsoft Word document and print it as a PDF (and extra stuffs, but that's not part of the problem). During the conversion from Word to PDF for most of my documents I get a dialog saying 'A footer of section X is outside of the printable area of the page...'. What I would like to do is not to write a script to click 'yes' when a dialog open but to try to set the default margin for printing to 0. In the 'page setup', there is an option to create customized 'paper size', with a giving width, height and margins (that I can set to 0). By default the paper size is selecting A4, but I would like to find a way to set this paper size as a default to my customized paper size for any document opened on Microsoft Word or printed as PDF!  If I select manually the customized paper size after I open the document on Word, I can print it without having the dialog.
    So my question is to know if there is a way to set a global margin for printing to 0 (let me know if I need to use Acrobat Pro, Distiller etc.), whatever the way is.
    Thank you very much!
    Vincent

    Alan,
    There is nothing specific with the SDK that you have to print a marketing document such as a Sales Order, PO, etc.  What you may want to look at in the 2005A SDK is the "PrintEvent" object.  This event lets you catch a print event in the SAP Business One application, get the relevant data that is sent to the printer and then edit it using a third-party editing tool such as Crystal Reports. The PrintEvent event provides an exit point that allows you to integrate third-party tools for reporting and document editing.
    You can look at the sample code for the PrintEvent here ...

  • When downloading a pdf, the print command show a document in the preview but only prints blank pages

    When downloading a pdf and using the print command, it shows  the correct document in the preview but only prints blank pages.  If I use the save command and try to open with Acrobat 11.0.07, it says it wasn't correctly decoded and can't open it.  If I do the same thing on my old Macbook (10.6.8) all works fine from the same website with the same document.  Any ideas?

    Well the ePrint feature does not have the "print multiple copy" feature. Your options are to either send the email more than once or make a copy of what you have sent, once it prints out. I hope my response has helped answer your question! Thanks

  • Help - setting up a document for A4 printing

    Hi everyone,
    I am very new to InDesign - using CS5.5. Trying to set up my first A4 document for printing. I an unsure of the printers settings but just want to check in the document - i need to have my background image right to edge of the bleed (3mm), and any text needs to be kept inside the magenta box - or can it go right out to the black line?
    My image isn't quite big enough to go right to the top on the bleed line so i have used the same color rectanlge at the top . . . will this work? You can tell its a differnt image. Needs to go right to the edge of the page.
    Is there any I need to do specifically to set this up to be printed ? Thanks for any ideas/suggestions/comments

    Bleed is area outside the theoretical trim area of your page and it is used to compensate for misalignments during cutting. A typical bleed would be 1/8" or 3mm and any art or color that is intended to reach to the edge of the page after trimming should extend beyond the page edge (black line) by that amount. Set up the document at the trim size (in this case A4) and then press the more options button in the document setup dialog to reveal the Bleed and Slug fields. Enter the bleed amount and press OK and you'll see a new red guide outside the page boundary. Is this a facing apges document? How many pages? How will it be bound?
    I'm guessing the Magenta box woould be the margin guides. These are set by you according to what you want, so there is no hard and fast rule for where they might be. Text and other critical content should always be set inside the page bound at least as much as the bleed allowance, however (and I prefer more), because if the cutting is off it will shift the trim outside the page area on one edge, but also inside the page by the same amount on the opposite edge and you don't want the text to be cut off or crowded at the edge.
    If your photo is not large enough to extend into the bleed area you shoud either enlarge it, if that won't reduce the resolution too much, find another photo that is big enough, or redisign the page so the phot itself does not need to bleed. A transition form a photo to a colored background, no matter how similar, is nearly always visible.

  • I am unable to print multiple copies of documents

    Either selecting 10 copies of the same document or selecting 10 copies of a range it will only print 1 copy and it takes forever to print.

  • Printing 3026 copies of a 2 pages document in Indesign CS4

    Hi,
    I have a problem in InDesign CS4. I have a 2 pages document, that I want to print 3026 copies of. I know, that ID only will let me print 999 copies, but I only get a pdf-file of the 2 pages (page 1 and page 2), not 999 copies of the document. How to do it? Can anyone help?
    Henriette

    Thank you for your reply. I'd better explain the task properly. I have an InDesign document, 2 pages to be used as direct marketing to 3026 addresses. I had intended to print the document as a pdf file of 3026 copies, and then put the addresses of as a watermark in Acrobat (another pdf file 2 pages), but when I try to print 999 copies of InDesign, I get only a pdf file on the 2 sides, not in 999 copies. Have an idea of what I can do?
    Many greetings
